For our members, friends, family, and the entire Law Enforcement Community!
works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in com-
merce. IP is divided into two categories: Industrial property,
which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial
designs, and geographic indications of source; and Copyright,
which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems
and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings,
paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs.
Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in
their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings,
and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programs.
Copyright law is a branch of that part of the law which deals with
the rights of intellectual creators. Copyright law deals with
particular forms of creativity, concerned primarily with mass
communication. It is concerned also with virtually all forms and
methods of public communication, not only printed publications
but also such matters as sound and television broadcasting, films
for public exhibition. The subject-matter of copyright protection
includes every production in the literary, scientific and artistic
domain, whatever the mode or form of expression. For a work to
enjoy copyright protection, however, it must be an original
creation. The ideas in the work do not need to be new but the
form, be it literary or artistic, in which they are expressed must be
an original creation of the author. And, finally, protection is
independent of the quality or the value attaching to the work—it
will be protected whether it be considered, according to taste, a
good or a bad literary or musical work—and even of the purpose
for which it is intended, because the use to which a work may be
put has nothing to do with its protection.
The owner of copyright in a protected work may use the work as
he wishes—but not without regard to the legally recognized rights
and interests of others—and may exclude others from using it
without his authorization. Therefore, the rights bestowed by law
on the owner of copyright in a protected work are frequently
described as “exclusive rights” to authorize others to use the
protected work. The original authors of works protected by
copyright also have “moral rights”, in addition to their exclusive
rights of an economic character. What is meant by “using” a work
protected by copyright? Most copyright laws define the acts in
relation to a work which cannot be performed by persons other
than the copyright owner without the authorization of the copyright
owner. Such acts, requiring the authorization of the copyright owner,
normally are the following: copying or reproducing the work;
performing the work in public; making a sound recording of the work;
making a motion picture of the work; broadcasting the work;
translating the work; adapting the work. Remedies for infringement
of copyright or for violation of related rights consist of civil redress, as
where infringers are obliged by court to cease the infringement and to
undertake reparatory action by any appropriate means, for example,
rectification in the press or liability for damages. Some laws also
provide for penal remedies in the form of fines and/or imprisonment.
Trademarks already existed in the ancient world. Even at times when
people either prepared what they needed themselves or, more usually,
acquired it from local craftsmen, there were already creative
entrepreneurs who marketed their goods beyond their localities and
sometimes over considerable distances. As long as 3,000 years ago,
Indian craftsmen used to engrave their signatures on their artistic
creations before sending them to Iran. Manufacturers from China sold
goods bearing their marks in the Mediterranean area over 2,000 years
ago and at one time about a thousand different Roman pottery marks
were in use, including the FORTIS brand, which became so famous
that it was copied and counterfeited. With the flourishing trade of the
Middle Ages, the use of signs to distinguish the goods of merchants
and manufacturers likewise expanded several hundred years ago.
Their economic importance was still limited, however. Trademarks
started to play an important role with industrialization, and they have
since become a key factor in the modern world of international trade
and market-oriented economies. Industrialization and the growth of
the system of the market-oriented economy allow competing
manufacturers and traders to offer consumers a variety of goods in the
same category. Often without any apparent differences for the
consumer, they do generally differ in quality, price and other
characteristics. Clearly consumers need to be given the guidance that
will allow them to consider the alternatives and make their choice
between the competing goods. Consequently, the goods must be
named. The medium for naming goods on the market is precisely the
trademark. Virtually any sign can constitute a trademark. Here are
some examples of what constitutes a trademark.
Words: This category includes company names, surnames, forenames, geographical names and any other words or sets of words, whether invented or not, and slogans.
- Letters and Numerals: Examples are one or more letters, one or more numerals or any combination thereof.
Devices: This category includes fancy devices, drawings and symbols and also two dimensional representations of goods or containers.
Combinations of any of those listed above, including logotypes and labels.
Colored Marks: This category includes words, devices and any combinations thereof in color, as well as color combinations and

color as such.
Three-Dimensional Signs: A typical category of three-dimensional signs is the shape of the goods or their packaging. However, other three-dimensional signs such as the three-pointed Mercedes star can serve as a trademark.
Audible Signs (Sound Marks): Two typical categories of sound marks can be distinguished, namely those that can be transcribed in musical notes or other symbols and others (e.g. the cry of an animal).
Olfactory Marks (Smell Marks): Imagine that a company sells its goods (e.g. writing paper) with a certain fragrance and the consumer becomes accustomed to recognizing the goods by their smell.
Other (Invisible) Signs: Examples of these are signs recognized by touch.
This positive right of use belonging to the trademark owner is
recognized in most trademark laws. This means first the right of the
owner of the mark to affix it on goods, containers, packaging, labels,
etc. or to use it in any other way in relation to the goods for which it is
registered. It means also the right to introduce the goods to the market
under the trademark. Finally, a third right out of the series of rights
incorporated in the right to use a trademark is the trademark owner’s
right to use his mark in advertising, on business papers, documents, etc.
The Right to Exclude Others from Using the Mark - It follows from the
mark’s basic function of distinguishing the goods of its owner from
those of others that he must be able to object to the use of confusingly
similar marks in order to prevent consumers and the public in general
from being misled. This is the essence of the exclusive right afforded to
the trademark owner by registration. He must be able to object to any
use of his trademark by a third party for goods for which it is protected,
to the affixing of the mark on such goods, to its use in relation to the
goods and to the offering of the goods for sale under the mark, or the
use of the mark in advertising, business papers or any other kind of
document. Furthermore, since consumers are to be protected against
confusion, protection generally extends to the use of similar trademarks
for similar goods, if such use is likely to confuse the consumer.
Remedies for Trademark Infringement , a successful infringement action
leads to prohibition of the use of the confusingly similar mark. If the
infringing mark is registered, cancellation of the registration is ordered.
The trademark owner can also, in principle, ask for compensation for
damages.

feet in interviews," says Teena. "The most difficult in-
terviews I have ever had were in pageants. Job inter-
views are a piece of cake! I also love having the oppor-
tunity to bring attention to issues that I am passionate
about. That sparkly crown and sash really opens doors
and makes people listen!" Teena competed for the title

The Lahoma, Oklahoma Police Chief is
taking steps to create a positive atmos-
phere in the community by rewarding
both children and adults who are setting
an example by following traffic laws and
showing community service and leader-
ship.
Area businesses, including McDonald’s,
Freddy’s Frozen Custer and Steak Burg-
ers, and Sonic have joined this effort by
providing coupons for free drinks, sun-
daes, sandwiches and ice cream for those
who are “caught being good”.
While on duty, if an officer spots a commu-
nity member, or someone just passing
through setting a positive example for oth-
ers, they reward those individuals a cou-
pon from one of the participating vendors,
as well as stickers for the kids.

It was a Saturday night and my husband was working his usual night shift. I sat in front of the computer out of boredom once again and was feeling a bit sorry for myself. All of my friends were with their husbands, enjoying a movie, game
night or an evening out. How come I was the wife spending her evening alone while her husband worked?
I began my search to seek out support available for police wives. I came across Wives Behind the Badge, Inc. and I imme-diately knew I found what I had been searching for when I read the words:
ONE FAMILY. ONE VISION. ONE BADGE.
I registered the next day as a member of Wives Behind the Badge's online support forums. I learned quickly from the oth-er members that I was never alone. It has truly been a blessing to be a part of this unique, caring and supportive group of
women.
There are more than 200 active forum members from all over the United States and the world, all of who I call my sisters. It is a place where I feel safe to express my life's up's and down's. My sisters cheer me on and offer advice
that only one who understands and shares this life as a law enforcement officer wife can do.
Please join us, you will be glad that you did! Register for our free and secure online support forum at: http://www.wivesbehindthebadge.org/forums.
Wives Behind the Badge is a big part of my life, not just through the forums, but as the director of the Oregon Auxiliary. Volunteering for this organization has allowed me to give back to the law enforcement community and make a real
difference.
